I don't get it though, what advantage does the North have in keeping them? It's likely they've long since died and the survivors were already brought back. I suppose some official closure might be nice, but there's little advantage for the North to give an official statement in the matter.

"We will be working together to bring your relatives, your daughters, your sons, your mothers home," Trump said in the meeting in Tokyo, which took place after an audience with new Emperor Naruhito and a summit with Abe.

He then added; "mark my words, mark my words".....

Then the entire audience let out a long sigh....so much for that promise....

The Japanese approach to this issue leaves a lot to be desired. Being a hot potato as the leaders make us believe, You'd think they would repeat the "Koizumi doctrine" of engaging straight with Kim, but it is obvious they can't look him in the eye..hence the need to ask everybody to " gang-stalk" NK.

Everytime this NK's abduction topic comes up, Just amazed with the fact this many posters in this forum are so indifferent.

In order to rescue the victims avoiding the possible worst case scenario, sucking up to whoever or whichever countries that has power is definitely the best option now matter how badly you guys keep laughing at Japan and Japanese PMs. So just carry on. Japan should save it's pride for the revenge later on.

It establishes a climate of fear. It's a form of terrorism. Though these things happened in the past--even too long ago for some to care about--the threat that it might happen again remains and is ever present.

Try to imagine your beloved child suddenly disappeared and you found out later he/she was kidnapped by a hostile neighbor nation. This thug nation says “your daughter went insane and committed suicide” and returned the remains of someone else. Your beloved child always at risk being actually killed for thug nation to make their fake story real. Your beloved kids are hostage of that thug nation which would easily go insane, ruled by a mad man who wouldn’t mind sacrificing the nation’s entire people for his own regime.

So what can you do? What should you do? Sucking to whoever who has more hope is just NOTHING.
